Compact Pipetting Workstation

The Microlab NIMBUS384 from Hamilton Robotics is a compact, multi-channel liquid handler that offers fast liquid transfers, superior accuracy and precision pipetting. The unique 384-well 50 µL, air-displacement, multi-probe heads add even more flexibility by allowing users to pipette in 384- and 96-well, quadrant, column, row and single-tip formats. The workstation has an ultra-flat deck with 11 and 12 positions, which allows for tip stacking and 1,536 pipetting automation, thereby increasing the speed of workflow. The precision and highly accurate air dispensing multi-probe head has a dynamic pipetting range of 0.5 µL to 50 µL, enabling most application methods. The workstation’s software offers a range of unique features and can be easily programmed by virtually all users. The software provides two programming methods: vector based and a wizard-driven graphical user interface. Both methods are 21 CFR, Part 11 compliant, and offer features such as wordlist importing and exporting and error handling. Additional features include scheduling, integrated third-party device control, automated deck layouts, tip counting and 3-D viewing. All workstations come with tip and waste stations and are available with an optional enclosure with locks, for safe and secure automation, as well as a labware gripper for on- and off-deck plate and tip movement, heating, shaking, cooling and vacuum positions.
